A new report has shown that Amazon's "Just Walk Out" AI checkout process is actually processed by 1,000 staff in India. Tech companies are under pressure to deliver AI, so we have fake AI announcements, fake AI demonstrations, and AI being the excuse for brazenly breaking the law and screwing over creators and customers. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are all at it and their share price has exploded the more AI promises they made. ☕️ JOIN MY PATREON - DISCORD, BONUS VIDEOS, TARGET PRICES, MODELS & MORE https://www.patreon.com/sashayanshin 📌 GREAT INVESTING APPS I USE INTERACTIVE BROKERS (Global - Main investing app I use) https://bit.ly/ibkr-sasha ETORO (Global - clean design, simple to use) https://bit.ly/etoro-sasha GET A FREE SHARE WORTH UP TO £100 WITH TRADING 212 (UK & Europe) https://www.trading212.com/promocodes/SASHA You need to sign up and make a deposit within 10 days to get a free share.

    This might be the most awfully absurd thing that could ever happen.

    “We got perfectly capable humans doing that job pretending to be AIs so that we can sell more incapable AIs services, AND prevent the AI bubble from bursting. Gotta make some big $$$ out of this shit, 2008 style baby”

    AI was filmed on a soundstage in California. Sam Altman was played by Jesse Eisenberg. ChatGPT is just a recording of Mark Zuckerberg talking to himself in the mirror

    I would be careful trusting everything said in this video and taking it at face value.

    He touches on a broad range of different AI related news, but doesn’t seem to fully grasp the technology himself (I’m basing this statement on his “evidence” from the 8 min mark).

    He seems to be running a channel that’s heavily centered on stock market related content. And it feels like he’s putting his own spin on every topic he touches in this video.

    Overall, it’s not the worst video, but I would rather base my information from better informed sources.

    What he should have done was to set the baseline by defining what AI actually is and then proceed to compare what these companies are doing with that definition. Instead we have a list of AI news stories covering Amazon Fresh Stores, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot (powered by ChatGPT) and his own take on how those stories mean that everything is faked.

    I can assure you by the systems they’re ordering for AI specific workloads that they are indeed not even remotely faking AI.

      This video should have more accurately been labelled, “Things that make AI Look Bad” rather than attempting to prove that AI was faked.

      “one fraudulent company from India”. Which part of this being Amazon’s walk out technology makes it not big tech, or a “weak ai story”?

      AI is turning out to be a lot less promising than we thought, unless new breakthroughs are made the models are plateauing or even getting worse, at least relative to the amount of energy they consume… And companies like openai are in rush to sell you the idea for trillions of dollars before everyone realises the limits. Same as amazon trying to sell us Ai powered shopping.
